Trump 'startled' to learn his attorney general pick Bill Barr was best friends with Robert Mueller and moaned to aides after confirmation hearing that he didn't realize they worked closely | WHAT REALLY HAPPENED

Donald Trump was 'startled' after watching William Barr's attorney general confirmation hearing on Tuesday, after the 68-year-old spoke about his tight friendship with Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

The president complained to his aides that 'he didn't realize how much their work overlapped or that they were so close' when he nominated him, according to CNN.

After watching Barr speak at the Senate Judiciary Committee, POTUS was caught 'off-guard' and 'bristled' as he had to listen to details of their history but he later calmed himself by putting their familiarity with each other purely down Washington business.

Doesn't anyone at the White House know how to do a thorough background check?!?
